Senpensekai no Madoushoshi

"Ah, sister. Where have you been?"

The door on the store side was closed at this time, so I entered the house from the back door. Then I just ran into some other sarah who was taking a bath or got the hot air up from her body.

"Yeah, to drop off the Toslins"

"Mr. Toslin is that elf knight, isn't he!?"

Nodding yes as he took off his coat, Sarah raised her voice more on the spot.

"Sarah wanted to drop you off too..."

"I don't care if I drop you off, it's my job. It's not like I'm going to another city, so I'm gonna be back tomorrow morning."

"Oh, yeah. It's tough being an adventurer to work at night."

"It's Sarah. If you dress like that forever, you're gonna get hot and cold."

When Saluena, another knight, tells her that, Sarah is hacked.

"Oh, I was. Then I'll go back to your room. Dear Saluena, Thank you for picking up your sister."

"What? That's what I do."

Sarah lowered her head with a peck and then ran away with a totter.

"You're pretty solid for the year."

"Yeah, she's my proud sister."

When I said what a high nose, Sarah peeked a little into my face from the corner of the hallway.

"Oh yeah, sister, I could do a pair of yarn pants, so I left them on the bed so hey!!"

And after I say what I say, now it's time for my footsteps to go away.

"Hmm... Was that yarn underwear by Sarah's hand? It's getting harder and harder to make something that old."

I know Sarah has no offense. Even Saluena, naturally.

"... so...? They knit sweaters and stuff too. My sister is amazing."

But I wanted you to sneak up on me if you could. I'm the one who gave something important for the plush, but I knew people would ask me...... embarrassing.

After dinner and taking a bath, I was in bed and reading a book. As the fire lit on the candle shakes, the speed at which the letters are followed is not riding.

……

I guess the Toslins are walking in this cold by now. Maybe I met a monster early, and he's fighting.

The Toslins, who are in the Orange ranks and have risen to levels above 15, will have enough power to defeat even if they normally think about it and meet that icegolem.

It's unthinkable if you're normal to gain so much strength in a few days, but it's the adventurers who make it real.

There is a theory that the stronger the monster, the more powerful it is from the ancient times, which should also be called the remnants of the primitive plains, and by defeating it and bathing it, it itself approaches it again. So you expect adventurers to be required to undergo and monitor a baptismal ritual? so that the second dark purple knight would not appear, and.

It's a pretty eyebrow spitting theory, but if this is true, I can also nod that the Toslins did indeed gain dramatic strength.

"But if it is... you'll be fine"

Those people are strong. I'm calm, and if I have to, I have a miracle for Mr. Rose. Kind of flawed in the balls to be directional tone-deaf... that? Ruins are based on pits, right? Pits are more or less similar stretches of road, aren't they? If so... are you sure you're okay? You got a map or something? Or can you read the map properly?

"I'm getting so worried"

I know it doesn't make sense where I was worried by now, but I don't feel like I'm reading a book anymore.

I put the book aside and took the stuffed animal instead.

"Goddess...... Sorry to be late at night, but please protect Toslin, Carol, and Mr. Rosé..."

Put your elbows on the stuffed animal, put your hands together in front of you and pray. It's a moonlit night with no wind and no clouds. This could even reach the castle of silence where the goddess is.

"A prayer for the goddess? Iris has grown more believable."

In the middle of prayer, Saluena, up from the bath, opened the door chatteringly and came in. She waited until my prayers were over before saying so.

"Hey, are the Toslins really getting stronger?"

Once again, Saluena, who was checking the comfort of her pajamas, slipped her neck.

"I don't know them before. So I can't compare, but if you're strong or weak, you're definitely strong. This pyjama is more unsettling than that. The fabric is too thin. You can't even wear a sword without armor."

"Because it's a pajama. If you're a mess, you can't sleep calmly. It's okay, 'cause you look great."

"No, I'm not saying it looks good or anything like that."

What Saluena is wearing right now is a pink pyjama with me. When I went to buy regular Saruena clothes the other day, I bought mine with her. I find the white flowers embroidered on my chest so adorable. By the way, it was Mr. Rosé who chose it.

"I shouldn't have Saluena to say strange things. It's a pajama, so that's fine. More than that, see, don't be there. Come on. Will you catch a cold?"

"Hmm..."

Saluena didn't seem a little convinced yet, but she put her sword next to the bed and came next door. Sometimes I take a bath, and my body is pounding. But my hair looks a little wet, cold.

"What is this?"

Being out of hand and messing with a stuffed animal, Saluena seems to have attracted interest and follows.

It's a stuffed animal.

Wasn't there a thousand years ago?

"I know that. All I want to ask is what kind of animal this is."

I thought so, but apparently there was. Because I keep it at the window during the day, or when I hug a stuffed animal, it smells like a dried futon.

"You don't know? It's called a unicorn. He's a famous spirit who's side with the goddess in the Battle of Illua."

"I've never seen it. Why are the horns growing? Don't you get in the way when you eat grass?"

"You don't eat grass because unicorns are spirits, do you? Probably."

"I see. But the Spirit? I used to chop up spirits who didn't obey the goddess."

"Oh, yeah. But unicorns are good spirits. If you find it, you can't cut it, can you? By the way, they say unicorns are the guardians of a clean girl."

"Well, it makes me laugh with a guardian in such a cute way."

On the back of the word, Saluena's face is slightly loose and stuffed with tungtung. Is Saluena the type of guy who loves dogs and cats? Wow, the image makes me even crazier.

"Sarah made this for me, too. I hope you don't have bad dreams."

"You're really clever."

As they stroked the stuffed animal, they had a while. There's no conversation, you can't hear the wind, total time without it. But it's never awkward or uncomfortable. It was a pleasant time, very natural and necessary.

"Did you want to follow?"

It was those words of Saluena that broke that silence.

"... I can't do that. I've been worried about you for the past six months, and I can't believe I'm doing this any more... I can't."

"Right."

"Especially since Sarah is a very worried child"

When I resume, I think of Sarah's face, who was hugging me and crying. When I think of that face, I still feel guilty and my chest hurts.

"Worry and deserve it. For Sarah, she's just one sister."

"... yeah, right"

Convinced by Saluena's words. But the more convinced you are, sometimes you don't know.

"Hey, Saluena"

"What?"

"Why did Saluena become a knight?"

What do you want to do and what do you want to do? Now I can't draw my way in front of me and I'm stopping.

"You want to hear it?"

"Ugh, yeah......"

To me he nodded, Saluena turned a gentle eye. Dark blue eyes reflected the flames of the candles, sparkling as if they were gems.

"Well, but there's no point in other people's answers. If you want, think for yourself."

"But I don't know that..."

Saluena held my mouth still for answers with her fingers.

"Don't rush, maiden. That's clever. Sooner or later, you'll understand yourself."

I couldn't take my eyes off Saluena's beautiful eyes and stood still with my mouth shut. That comforting sounding word somehow stomped on my chest with strange persuasion.

"Believe me?"

"Oh, you should believe it. Now I'm right in front of you, and I'm just ahead of you on the path that you'll follow one day."

"... well, then... I'll do as I say"

"That's fine. The face that bothers me doesn't look good. Laugh brightly, as usual."

"Is that what you're telling Mr. Rosé?"

"Absolutely. Rosa is the most smiling maiden in the world."

I got some kind of falling in love answer. I shouldn't have asked. I shouldn't have asked.

"Yes, yes, is that right? Then I'll sleep, so good night."

"Oh, good night"

When I put my head on the pillow, I was gently stroked on the head. When I opened my crushed eyes just a little and looked next door, Saluena prayed with her unicorn stuffed animal on her lap.

"Didn't you pray to the goddess?"

Yes, I whispered...

"It's on this guy I'm praying for"

I see, to wish Mr. Rosé well, unicorns are really good, aren't they?

After laughing so hard, it was time for me to close my eyes.

I'm going to have a good dream today.
